Video Game BAFTAs 2017: Uncharted 4 wins ‘Best Game’

Last night saw the annual Video Game BAFTAs where Sony and Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End cleaned up winning the coveted title of “Best Game”.

Although I’m yet to actually play Uncharted 4, I’ve heard nothing but good things about the game so it comes as no surprise that it’s won such a prestigious award. However, while “Best Game” is a pretty top notch reward, Uncharted only walked away with one award, whereas Playdead’s Inside walked away with four – Artistic Achievement, Game Design, Narrative and Original Property.

The usual suspects also won awards including Overwatch for Multiplayer, Pokémon Go for Mobile Game, and That Dragon Cancer for Game Innovation.

Finally, developer Brenda Romero was the recipient of the Special Award, for her creative contribution to the game’s industry.

Here’s the full rundown of awards from last night:
